UTI and cystitis are the same things. The thickening should resolve with treatment of the infection. Please follow up with your physician for next steps.

Bladder wall thickness varies between a full or empty bladder but is normally 2.75 mm or less. Bladder wall is mostly muscle and does not cause is not thickened in acute infection -he mucosa or inner lining is. If worried have another ultrasound done 2-3 weeks after recovery from UTI
